The Granary 'Cue & Brew, 602 Ave. A, and Two Bros. BBQ Market, 12656 West Ave., have made Texas Monthly's list of the top 50 barbecue joints in the state, just released today. The list is compiled every five years.

Cowpokes Bar-B-Cue at 1855 W. Comal St. in Pearsall also made the list, a feat it accomplished in the previous version of the list in 2008.

The Granary has been receiving lots of media acclaim, most recently a rave in a blog from Esquire magazine as well as the highest rating for the food awarded this year by the San Antonio Express-News.

Two Bros. provided the meats on the cover of “The Prophets of Smoked Meat,” by Texas Monthly barbecue editor Daniel Vaughn on a new book imprint from Anthony Bourdain. Read about the book on H2 of this section.
